Abstract

In this article we argue that our formal education has failed, to a certain extent, to create good quality graduates, namely, those whoare not only competent and independent, but also slot zeus good in terms of such character traits as “grit, self-control, zest, social intelligence, gratitude,optimism, and curiosity” (Tough, 2012: 76). Such a failure has been caused by some educational practices which are not pedagogically soundlike: institutional manipulations leading to our students’ highly consumeristic behaviours;nondialogical education; teacher-centered approach;misunderstanding of teaching and learning; and, centralised education.To prevent such a failure, we suggest that our formal educational systembe redefined so that it will be capable of creating good quality education that, in turn, can help our students be more competent, independent, andexcellent in terms of the character traits mentioned. It can be done by applying such methods as Ivan Illich’s learning webs, Paulo Freire’sdialogical education, and student-centered education in which teaching is seen as a means of faciliating students’ learning based on theirpotentials, interests, and learning needs. In this sense, it is important that school curricula be also designed by each educational institution andthat each individual instituion has its own independent management system and networking system to make it more successful in achieving itseducational goals.

Abstract

In this article, we acknowledged that it is formal teaching and learning that has contributed much in creating a great civilization as we have it in the last few centuries. Yet, we argue that teaching and learning activities in our formal schools in general, during this Covid-19 pandemic in particular, are no longer that effective as shown by such facts as students who are not active in learning, who drop out of our school system, and who fail in schools and beyond. To overcome this problem, we insist that the following concepts be implemented in schools: 1. teaching should be no longer seen as transferring knowledge, skills, and values, but it has to be viewed as facilitation of students’ learning so that they can be indepent, healthy, and socially and environmentally great; 2. learning should not also be seen as memorizing what teachers teach, but to a process of real development within students themselves so that they can be independent with great characters in and after schooling; 3. dialogical education should be the basis of our formal education; 4. students’ potentials, interests, and needs should be the focusses of our formal education barbarslot ; and, 5. educational evaluation should be more comprehensively done, that is, it should focus on students’ cognition, skills, and affection, rather than on their cognitive aspect alone.

Abstract

The implementation of the Independent Curriculum has resulted in differences in treatment between Driving Schools (SP) receiving intensive mentoring and Non-Driving Schools (SNP) implementing the curriculum independently. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the differences in the effectiveness of the curriculum's implementation at the junior high school level in Kupang City. The research focuses on three main determinants: principal management (MKS), teacher performance (KG), and student learning outcomes (HBS). Using an observational approach with 18 principals, 36 teachers, and 483 students, data were processed through unpaired t-tests and regression analysis. Quantitative findings indicate a significant advantage (p<0.05) in Driving Schools with an average MKS score of 92.13, KG 90.83, and HBS 84.31, surpassing Non-Driving Schools which recorded MKS scores of 80.78, KG 79.63, and HBS 65.32. Data analysis demonstrates that principal management positively contributes to teacher performance and academic achievement, with the influence of principal leadership on HBS being more pronounced in the SP environment. The main conclusion of the study confirms that the effectiveness of the Independent Curriculum implementation in the Leading Schools is significantly better than in the Non-Leading Schools. This indicates that systematic training support and additional operational assistance funds in the Leading Schools program have successfully created a higher-quality learning ecosystem that is more adaptable to change. ABSTRAK Implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka memunculkan perbedaan perlakuan antara Sekolah Penggerak (SP) yang menerima pendampingan intensif dan Sekolah Non Penggerak (SNP) yang melaksanakan secara mandiri. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis secara komprehensif perbedaan efektivitas implementasi kurikulum tersebut pada jenjang SMP di Kota Kupang. Fokus penelitian diarahkan pada tiga determinan utama: manajerial kepala sekolah (MKS), kinerja guru (KG), dan hasil belajar siswa (HBS). Menggunakan pendekatan observasi terhadap 18 kepala sekolah, 36 guru, serta 483 siswa, data diolah melalui uji-t tidak berpasangan dan analisis regresi. Temuan kuantitatif menunjukkan keunggulan signifikan (p<0,05) pada Sekolah Penggerak dengan rata-rata skor MKS sebesar 92,13, KG 90,83, dan HBS 84,31, melampaui Sekolah Non Penggerak yang mencatatkan skor MKS 80,78, KG 79,63, dan HBS 65,32. Analisis data membuktikan bahwa manajerial kepala sekolah berkontribusi positif terhadap kinerja guru dan prestasi akademik, dengan pengaruh KG terhadap HBS yang lebih nyata di lingkungan SP. Simpulan utama penelitian menegaskan bahwa efektivitas implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka di Sekolah Penggerak jauh lebih baik dibandingkan Sekolah Non Penggerak. Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa dukungan pelatihan sistematis dan dana bantuan operasional tambahan pada program sekolah penggerak berhasil menciptakan ekosistem pembelajaran yang lebih berkualitas dan adaptif terhadap perubahan.
